(ENG) DANGEROUS WINTER SPORTS - READING COMPREHENSION

By French Made Fun!

This is the English version. Looking for the French version? It's right here!

This 16-page resource will provide you with 4 separate texts, each about a dangerous winter sport :

  • Bobsleigh,
  • Aerial-Freestyle Skiing,
  • Skeleton Luge and
  • Snowboarding.

Each text is two full pages and each is accompanied by 4 in-depth questions as well as an answer key.

These texts can be used to model reading or writing skills, for informative and descriptive writing, or to use during a guided reading or shared reading with your students. They could be used as an assessment of comprehension. They could easily be assigned to a substitute teacher. I love using these readings around Canada Games, Winter Games or Olympics.

As with all of my documents, I cater to a strictly middle-school crowd, and you'll not find frilly, kiddish or immature content (vocabulary, fonts, structure or images). These would be suitable for your students in grades 5-7 (even 4th or 8th), depending on needs and interests.

You can earn credits by leaving Reviews on the products you buy. You can do this by going to your My Purchases page and clicking on Leave a Review. You will earn 1 credit for every dollar spent!
